Lin Wood is an American attorney who built his career as a high-profile defamation and libel lawyer in Atlanta, Georgia. He gained national attention representing Richard Jewell, the security guard falsely accused in the 1996 Olympic Park bombing, and later represented the family of JonBenet Ramsey. For decades, Wood was regarded as one of the country's top plaintiffs' attorneys in defamation cases. Following the 2020 presidential election, Wood underwent a dramatic public transformation, becoming one of the most vocal promoters of conspiracy theories alleging widespread election fraud. He partnered with [[Sidney Powell]] to file a series of lawsuits known as the [[Kraken]] cases, which sought to overturn election results in key swing states. The suits were uniformly rejected by courts for lack of evidence. Wood also amplified [[QAnon]]-adjacent rhetoric on social media, making extreme claims about prominent political figures and urging supporters to reject the certified results. Wood's post-election conduct led to severe professional consequences. He faced disciplinary proceedings from the State Bar of Georgia and was ultimately sanctioned for his role in filing frivolous [[Election Denialism]] lawsuits. His law license was suspended, effectively ending his legal career. Wood had been a vocal supporter of [[Donald Trump]] throughout this period and continued to promote conspiracy theories even after facing bar discipline.
